Office of Command Counsel ___________________________________ In the Matter of ) ) ) Latvian Connection LLC ) B-410426 ) Notice of Corrective Action and ) Request for Dismissal ) Charles Morrow, Esq. Government Accountability Office Attn: Procurement Law Control Group 441 G Street, NW Washington, DC 20548 By email to GAO and to Protester Dear Mr. Morrow: The Army intends has taken corrective action in this protest, as follows: the Army has cancelled the award of bridge contract W52P1J-14-C-0047, and will extend the current contract, W911SE-07-D-0014 BA 01 in accordance with FAR 16.505 and 52.217-8. The Army believes that this action renders the pending protest moot as there is no longer an issue before the GAO which must be decided at this time. As this renders the protest academic, no further purpose would be served by the GAO’s review of the protest. See, American Combustion, Inc., B-235397.2, Oct. 13, 1989, 89-2 CPD ¶348; Whittaker-Yardney Power Systems, B-227831, Sept. 10, 1987, 87-S CPD ¶232; General Aero Products Corp., B-215532, Oct. 15, 1984, 84-2 CPD ¶404. Therefore, the Army requests that the GAO dismiss the protest. Respectfully submitted, Debra J. Talley Associate Command Counsel
